Archive for the ‘Buzz’ CategoryIs Win8 worth it?Thursday, March 1st, 2012Win8 does have some goodies, but if you’re someone who values stability, functionality and simplicity, then the following picture summarizes our opinions quite well:
Not convinced? Check out these reviews: Windows 8 Consumer Preview: A Quick Look at Battery Life; This Is What Using Windows 8 Actually Looks and Feels Like. Tell us your thoughts below. Smartphone Nokia 808 has 41m pixel for cameraTuesday, February 28th, 2012
To compare, iPhone 4S has 8m, so is Samsung Galaxy S II; a latest click-n-shoot camera usually has 10-12m, Canon’s flagship DSLR 1DX has 18.1m, Nikon’s flagship D3X has 24.5m, but damn it this hard-as-rock, indestructible Nokia cellphone has 41m! Check out some of its amazing sample images. One thing is for sure, if you have this phone, there’s absolutely not a single point to carry a click-n-shoot camera. Perhaps a DSLR still has its way, but why carrying a click-n-shoot camera when your cellphone has way better image quality and the ability to share photos instantly? Next time when Tim Cook introduces iPhone 5, his voice will go down and skip quickly when mentioning its resolution, and you’ll go “meh”; people will boo when Samsung Galaxy S III is released with an 8m camera. I don’t even know how click-n-shoot camera companies have enough self-respect to release anything if they don’t at least enter into a similar ball-park figure. The questions now are: is Nokia going too far on this resolution thing? Will customers buy it just because it has superior photographic function? Will there be enough customers to even know or care about this? (Ask your friends what resolutions their cellphones have, many of them probably don’t know or aren’t sure of it). What do you think? Let us know below. Steve Jobs dies at the age of 56Wednesday, October 5th, 2011
iPhone 4S, MehTuesday, October 4th, 2011
Sure the chip inside is faster, the memory is larger, the battery lasts longer, but nothing exciting, nothing makes you wow. It’s been 3 months plus a year since iPhone 4, with all the anticipating, Apple delivers only a mediocre update, even Apple knows it can’t be called iPhone 5, so there goes 4S, as in S for “Same”? The good thing is that, you can sneak around and secretly upgrade to iPhone 4S without your good wife/gf or husband/bf knowing about it and whining for too much money wasted. Oh well, before you get bored, here’s some iOS 5 Gold Master builds for fun: [Breaking] Steve Jobs resigned.Wednesday, August 24th, 2011
We all knew it’s a matter of time, but I never thought it would be this early, not before iPhone 5 is rumored to be released next month. Steve Jobs has always been seen as the sole reason of Apple’s current success, and his health condition or resignation will no longer guarantee Apple’s long-term advantage over its competitors, and tomorrow’s stock price on AAPL will likely reflect that. With Apple being one the hottest and most profitable compan and Steve Jobs being a charismatic idol among fans, the only reason for his resignation is his health condition. And I wish all the best to Steve Jobs, after all, money and fame come and go, as long as we have health, one can always come back. Steve published his letter:
Read full press release after the break: We Are Looking for Thunderbolt AdaptersFriday, July 29th, 2011
In the world of video-out ports, Apple is like a playboy who constantly changes mate. For the past 5 years or so, Apple computer’s video port has changed from Mini DVI to Micro DVI to Mini Displayport, and now Thunderbolt, despite HDMI / Mini HDMI being the most popular and ubiquitous port on HDTVs or Monitors. When somebody gets a new Macbook now, how can he/she output his screen to another? He/she might have the coolest (or hottest) laptop in the classroom/office, but too bad it cannot be used to give a presentation because virtually no projector accepts thunderbolt for now, not even Mini Displayport which Apple pushed already 2 years ago. As we have been providing Mini DisplayPort to VGA and HDMI adapters for Mac users, we will be actively searching for Thunderbolt to HDMI and VGA adapters for you guys, so stay in touch. Canada Post on Strike Starting June 2Wednesday, June 1st, 2011Here’s an update on the current Canada Post strike, which may affect your order’s delivery: As of now, Canada Post workers are going to be on strike after midnight of June 2, Thursday.

Our Giveaway Will Use Random.org’s Draw ServicesSaturday, April 30th, 2011
Today’s the last day of our first giveaway draw. To light up the excitement a little bit more, we’ll show how our first draw will be carried out. Initially we were just thinking going with the stone-age way of writing names on paper clips, putting them in a bowl, shaking and picking. But that’s dull. So a little googling landed us on random.org’s draw services. As their domain name suggests, they are good at generating random numbers, and their services can let all the participants who have entered the draw see the results themselves. It’s open, it’s random, it’s fair, it’s web-based, it’s 21st century. We like it! So if you’re interested, take a look at a video showing the behind-the-scene process of a draw, as demonstrated by random.org, which we will also use this time.
